I purchased a brand new 2010 Hyundai Accent from this dealership in July 2010. After I brought it in to have a cruise control added, I noticed my tires looked dingy and older than the ones that were originally on it. Silly me for allowing myself myself to think I must be mistaken. Nearly 1 year and 6 months later, not even at 30 thousand miles I brought my car to another service center for the first time and they brought me under the car to show me tires that were worn smooth on the inside. No, this center didn't do a swap on me. They were small and I could see my car the entire time they worked on it.
The truly sad thing is, I had asked the dealership service multiple times about the brakes not feeling right at 2-3 prior services which (besides them asking for a ridiculous 15,000 mile service price) lead me to try a different auto shop recommended by a trusted associate.
My tires were so worn I needed to replace them right away. The weather had been wet and the car already wasn't stopping properly and had been slipping and scaring me. These were Kumho tires that should last up to 70 thousand miles, worn smooth before 30 thousand. The New Service Shop told me there was no way I could have caused that much damage in such a short period of time. They even gave me my new tires at cost. I heard the entire conversation with the tire sales people. Not to mention I was still back in my car in an hours time even with all the hoopla and waiting for the tires to arrive.
Was Davis friendly and helpful when I bought the car? Yes, very much so.
Did I walk away feeling like I got a great deal at the time? Definitely!
Do I feel like I got a great deal now? NO!
Do not be fooled! Do not be taken! Do your research, know your car. Or they will scam you. And please, if you've also been scammed and you know it contact corporate Hyundai and tell them. Nobody should be allowed to treat other human beings this way.
They could have killed me by assuring me nothing was wrong. Or even worse, those worn tires could have crippled me for life putting my loved ones in financial and emotional strain.
I assure you, I will never by a Hyundai again. Especially not from Davis Hyundai. Nor will I by anything from any Davis owned dealerships!
